The goal of this paper is to analyze the pointwise controllability properties of a one-dimensional degenerate/singular equation. We prove the conditions that characterize approximate and null controllability. Besides, a numerical simulation based on B-splines will be provided, in which the state $u$ and the control function $h$ are represented in terms of B-spline basis functions. The numerical results obtained match the theoretical ones.
